I think the marijauna community is expecting too much too fast. Despite how passionatly we feel about the subject, the point is that there are far more important issues that Obama needs bi-party cooperation for. And legalization/decriminalization is a very polarizing issue. My understanding is that, no matter how Obama really feels about the subject, if he were to move forward on that issue, it would ruin his opprotunities to do more important things.
Also, he's not a bad president for supporting a women's right to choose (Therefore MY right to choose), in my opinion. Taking choices and liberties away from people is something we hated about the Bushadministration, correct?
